Empty Lineup, notes from The Watt

A packed Labor Day OC. Plenty of cracked heads in this lineup. Upper downtown? Lower midtown? 9/6/2015

  Maybe for the Town of Ocean City the turbulent Atlantic was not so empty over the weekend, but we’ve been missing it. Okay. Maybe I spoke out of turn for the Targetman. I’m missing the Ocean. I mean severe withdrawals. The salt air. Sand on my skin. Watching the sun go down while I’m drifting in the lineup.
Stoke for the taking...we can hear it calling. Malibu beach, 9/5/2014
















   The Lineup. Empty now. Somewhere a bar. Devoid of any Crew activity. And, I believe HT misses the mid-week break as well. I could see it in his face as we shook hands adios last month. Wishing luck into the wind. Bound to landlockedness for a while. I am coming back at the end of the month. The Lineup calls. Hoping to get together for an evening surf. Maybe some wings and brews. And then, maybe, if only for the session, the turbulence will calm. You see, the Crew doesn’t disband...we're just in a state of flux.
Good friends always stick it out.
